ovl: properly implement sync_filesystem()
overlayfs syncs all inode pages on sync_filesystem(), but it also needs to call s_op->sync_fs() of upper fs for metadata sync. This fixes correctness of syncfs(2) as demonstrated by following xfs specific test: xfs_sync_stats() { echo $1 echo -n "xfs_log_force = " grep log /proc/fs/xfs/stat | awk '{ print $5 }' } xfs_sync_stats "before touch" touch x xfs_sync_stats "after touch" xfs_io -c syncfs . xfs_sync_stats "after syncfs" xfs_io -c fsync x xfs_sync_stats "after fsync" xfs_io -c fsync x xfs_sync_stats "after fsync #2" When this test is run in overlay mount over xfs, log force count does not increase with syncfs command.
